Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland off to a brilliant start this season
Lionel Messi played his first game of the new season as Inter Miami took on Real Salt Lake in their MLS opener on February 22. The Argentine recorded one assist as the Herons ran out with a 2-0 victory at the Chase Stadium (formerly DRV PNK Stadium).
Two days later, Inter Miami found themselves on the brink of their first defeat of the season as they trailed LA Galaxy by a goal heading into injury time. However, Lionel Messi rose to the occasion and bagged a dying-minute equalizer to ensure his team left the game with a point and raised his tally to one goal and one assist in two outings.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland is also enjoying a brilliant campaign with Manchester City. The striker has bagged 22 goals and six assists for the Cityzens in 29 matches across all fronts since the season kicked off.
